HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) - It is the first and only industry-supported, uncompressed, all- digital audio/video interface. HDMI provides an interface between any audio/video source, such as a set-top box, DVD player, or A/V receiver and an audio and/or video monitor, such as a digital television (DTV), over a single cable.

(digital)		bit streams from ATSC broadcast programming, this
		input takes advantage of the High Definition content.

		TV Coaxial RF. This is the connection for standard
(analog)		NTSC TV using antenna or cable.
Best		RGB PC (VGA) – This video input has separate red,
	Blue	green and blue color components. The signal carries
(analog)		horizontal and vertical sync information on the green
		signal. This is most commonly used for PC input.
		Component - The video signal is separated into three
Better	Green	signals, one	containing the black-and-white
		information and the other two containing the color
	and
(analog)		information. This enhancement over S-Video takes
	Purple
		advantage of the superior picture provided by
		progressive scan DVD players and HDTV formats.
		AV/S-Video – 1. Composite: The complete video
		signal is carried through this single (yellow) pin
	Yellow	connector. This is the most commonly used video
Good		connection. 2. S-Video: The video signal is separated
	and	into two signals, one containing the black-and-white
(analog)	Red	information and the other containing the color
		information. Separating the color in this way avoids
		‘cross color’ effects where closely spaced black and
		white lines are erroneously displayed in color. It also
		enables text to be displayed more sharply.
